BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - AMERICAN SKIN (41 SHOTS)


AMERICAN SKIN (41 SHOTS) 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots (we need some quiet) 41 shots... and we'll take that ride 'Cross this bloody river To the other side 41 shots... cut through the night You're kneeling over his body in the vestibule Praying for his life Well, is it a gun, is it a knife Is it a wallet, this is your life It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) No secret my friend You can get killed just for living In your American skin 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots... Lena gets her son ready for school She says "On these streets, Charles You've got to understand the rules If an officer stops you Promise me you'll always be polite, that you'll never ever run away Promise Mama you'll keep your hands in sight" Well, is it a gun, is it a knife Is it a wallet, this is your life It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) No secret my friend You can get killed just for living In your American skin 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots Is it a gun, is it a knife Is it in your heart, is it in your eyes It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) 41 shots... and we'll take that ride 'Cross this bloody river To the other side 41 shots... got my boots caked in this mud We're baptized in these waters (Baptized in these waters) And in each other's blood (And in each other's blood) Is it a gun, is it a knife Is it a wallet, this is your life It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) No secret my friend You can get killed just for living You can get killed just for living You can get killed just for living You can get killed just for living You can get killed just for living In your American skin 41 shots You can get killed just for living 41 shots You can get killed just for living 41 shots You can get killed just for living 41 shots You can get killed just for living 41 shots You can get killed just for living 41 shots You can get killed just for living 41 shots You can get killed just for living...
